OCP (Organized College Planner)

What is it about?

Welcome to OCP. OCP stands for Organized College Planner and does exactly what you would expect from the name. Last year, Diane Bourne, a Counselor at Prospect High School, came up to me with an app idea to make the college application process easier and more organized for students. Originally it was just going to be a small app to replace the little sheet of paper students were using at the time, but the more I worked on the app, the more potential I saw in it. OCP is an organized way of tracking every college that a student would like to attend in their future simply by adding some information about each school into the app. Without staying clean and organized, students are stuck trying to make one of the hardest decisions in their life by working through the enormous stacks of college letters they receive on a daily basis. College letters also send students incredibly complex usernames and passwords that are impossible to remember.  Students can now save their usernames and passwords, set deadlines, know the requirements needed for each school, and easily compare schools based on many important variables. Choosing a college is easily the most stressful and difficult part of high school and OCP is here to help take some of the burden off students.
